Database service overview

The Database service provides scalable and reliable cloud provisioning
functionality for both relational and non-relational database engines.
Users can quickly and easily use database features without the burden of
handling complex administrative tasks. Cloud users and database
administrators can provision and manage multiple database instances as
needed.

The Database service provides resource isolation at high performance
levels, and automates complex administrative tasks such as deployment,
configuration, patching, backups, restores, and monitoring.

Process flow example

This example is a high-level process flow for using Database services:

The OpenStack Administrator configures the basic infrastructure using
the following steps:

Install the Database service.

Create an image for each type of database. For example, one for MySQL
and one for MongoDB.

Use the trove-manage command to import images and offer them
to tenants.

The OpenStack end user deploys the Database service using the following
steps:

Create a Database service instance using the trove create
command.

Use the trove list command to get the ID of the instance,
followed by the trove show command to get the IP address of
it.

Access the Database service instance using typical database access
commands. For example, with MySQL:
